Planet of the Apes
Planet of the Apes
Planet of the Apes, sorti le 20 septembre 2001 sur PC et PlayStation, place le joueur dans la peau d'Ulysses, un astronaute échoué sur une Terre future dominée par des singes intelligents. Le héros doit s'infiltrer au sein de la société simienne pour contrer le projet génocidaire du général Ursus, croisant des figures comme Cornelius et le docteur Zaius ainsi que de nouvelles menaces telles que des mandrills assassins et des babouins renégats. Le titre affiche un score Metacritic de 41 et une note agrégée de 63,00. La presse a salué certains aspects du jeu, Total Video Games évoquant une surprise agréable et un titre bien maîtrisé, tandis que Yahoo! a relevé un grand plaisir de jeu malgré l'absence de sauvegarde en cours de partie. Du côté des joueurs, les avis sont mitigés : l'un relève un combat médiocre mais des énigmes plutôt agréables sans pour autant recommander le jeu, tandis qu'un autre exprime une aversion totale envers le titre.

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« To say I was pleasantly surprised by PotA would be a considerable understatement, whilst not bringing any new ideas to the genre, it is a well refined title that impresses with tight controls and good gameplay. »
« The lack of a mid-game save aside, PoA is great fun to play - not only does it have the necessary hook to keep you interested in what happens next, but it manages to perfectly reproduce the atmosphere of the Apes films. »
« In spite of decent fight graphics and a solid audio track, this PC release manages only minimal intrigue, and game play that stagnates in the dark corridors that play out as the game’s map board. »
« Hardcore types probably won't care for it, but the more mainstreamers might be interested in a little monkey business. »
« While it stays true to the roots of the classic novel and original films, the game lacks creativity, particularly with respect to puzzles, visuals and combat. When all is said and done, Planet of the Apes simply isn’t very entertaining. »
« Whatever redeeming aspects it may have had are marred by a plethora of inconveniences and annoyances that round out boring, repetitive play. »
« The manner in which the screen moves can actually make you sick, and the enjoyment isn't enough to overcome that aspect. »
« This is a pretty bad game that has endless sprawling caves as gameplay areas and equally dull gameplay within them. »
